applied to gitmo specifically, look. i don't know. but i don't want them to shut it down if, in fact, it's going to release a lot of dangerous tariffs. if, in fact, it's succeeding from keeping people from harming us, why close it? >> but, steve, there seems to be fair amount of evidence. a lot of people have gone back. now they are working with isis. >> that's right. again, it shows that we are not serious about fighting this thing. we shouldn't be releasing prisoners of war until it is over. putting people in the united states makes the towns where the prisoners would be targets of terrorism. it will increase our insecurity, not decrease it. >>> would you feel comfortable living next to a prison that housed one of the terrorists? >> i would feel as comfortable as i do living near a prison that has domestic violators or criminals. as many cities do. if i may make a point here, it was president bush -- okay, it's not just obama alone. president bush let or released 520 former detainees. that 30% resit vimpl rate is with president bush

gitmo we could have 100 gitmos. does it make sense to spend a dollar on it? gitmo isn't cost-effective even though we can afford it. it's too much money per person who is in there. you could pay for a stay at the ritz carlton with a navy seal guarding over them for the same money. we can afford to give a lot of money to the middle east. the cheapest way is to just put another dictator up there. it's not moral but it's their problem. they have access to the oil, they can steal the oil we can't. it makes economic sense for someone else to have this blome in their back door, not america send money with no way to make money from the area like you would in the past maybe. i don't know. >> gary b. you said we can do both. >> exactly. jonas makes very very good points. the problem is president obama argues it from a cost standpoint. that's my argument, whether you think philosophically gitmo is good or bad. jonas is right. we could move them to a high security prison over here from. a cost perspective, it's just a stupid argument. get off that and get to the philoso
